IF you are given something, ask the doctor for precise instructions on the time between doses, in order to avoid addiction.

I would avoid the word "addiction". There is no evidence here of addiction (e.g. craving, obsession/compulsion, abuse, etc.) I'd ask for instructions to avoid (another)
dependence, or swapping one dependence for another, but I think that for all but an exceedingly few exceptions, once per week would not be enough to trigger dependence.
